   Goidel Law Group Pllc

   Oct 2011 — Present · Melville, NY, US

   Goidel Law Group’s estate planning and elder law practice focuses in six practice areas:• Estate Planning & Asset Protection• Medicaid & Long-Term Care Planning• Estate & Trust Administration• Health & Long-Term Care Advocacy• Guardianship Proceedings• Veterans Planning While we are a small firm and can keep our fees relatively reasonable, our approach to planning is state of the art. We believe that estate planning is as much of a life care plan as it is a death plan. Accordingly, we have created Concierge Care Coordination®, an innovative, holistic practice model designed to seamlessly integrate care needs with legal planning.In implementing our cutting edge processes, we fully engage the client, family members and other professional advisors (financial and health care).Using unique systems, we strive to complete our clients’ legal documents in 30 to 90 days of our engagement. Through our optional TLC™ Maintenance Program, clients’ estate plans should never become outdated or stale. With changes in family, health, finances and the laws (tax and Medicaid), clients may need to periodically revise their estate planning documents. Through our TLC Maintenance Program, clients may access a Legal Vault® containing important legal and other documents, plus a variety of complimentary services. We offer three convenient office locations (Melville, Forest Hills and Manhattan). For clients who are unable to meet at any of these locations, we will meet at their office, advisor’s office, residence (whether it be private home, assisted living facility, nursing home or hospital) or another mutually convenient location. Our state of the art Melville office also affords clients the ability to meet via video conferencing. Through our strategic co-counsel relationship with Borah, Goldstein, Altschuler, Nahins & Goidel, P.C. we provide real estate, litigation and corporate services.For more information, please visit
